    I was hoping someone here could give me some confirmation.

    No, the 4g54 rods are not the same and will not work in a 4g63. Here's the part number for the rods you want MD040550.

    If you're comfortable with Ali express, you can order the rods here.

    The original ones are Japanese. there are forged ones made in the USA, but they are pricey

    I don't suppose there's an easy way to tell?

    Hi again. I haven't abandoned this thread, I've just been dealing with a *hitstorm of other stuff lately.

    The other day I got back into this. Pulled the tranny and pulled the engine. Then I got started on disassembly.

    The cylinders look pretty good. Crosshatch is still there in all 4 and no ridge. The oil pan had no debris in it.

    I pulled pistons 1 and 2 and the rod bearings looked really good. I was beginning to think the *hitstorm was over. But I pulled the #3 cap and it didn't look so good. The bearing was "groovy" and the journal had a little too. So I pulled the rest and they were all about the same. After I got the crankshaft out I took it to a recommended shop and he says its just too far gone for a polish. But his cost for regrinding is as much as a rebuilt one that comes with bearings.

    So what's the opinion here? Grind the OEM or get the rebuilt kit from RA?

    I was also looking at a rebuild kit from DNJ that includes pistons, rings, and all the gaskets (no crank). Any opinions on them?
